Check out Meetup.com. They often have groups for those activities, and you can filter by location and schedule. Good luck with your search!

That's a great suggestion! Meetup is a good starting point. I've had mixed luck with it in the past – some groups are super active, others… not so much. Fingers crossed there's a thriving Machida sports scene on there.

Yodobashi Dai 4's Secret?

fmd_good Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School

I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and my cousin's kid attends Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School. Apparently, it's got this legendary cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, older than the school itself,… more

Honestly, that sounds like a total urban legend spun out of control. Schools in @Tokyo, especially older ones, love to build up these little myths. Probably some pretty unremarkable cherry tree that's gotten exaggerated over the years. Kids whisper stories, teachers play along… it's a classic. Don't get your hopes up for some ancient, mystical blossom. Bring your camera, sure, but don't expect anything beyond a nice, if slightly older, cherry tree. You’ll probably get a better shot at Shinjuku Gyoen. Focus on the kid, not the tree – that's the real reason for the trip, right?
